I am interested in applying a teak and holly veneer directly to the cabin sole of a sailboat. I have 5 questions - Is there anyplace where I can actually purchase just the veneer and not the plywood? How thick would something like that be? What type of adhesive would you use to adhere the veneer? Would in your opinion, the veneer adhered directly to the fiberglass work? Since I won't be able to clamp the pieces, does anyone have suggestions (other than weight) that might assist me in getting a good bond.Thanks, Duane Wolff

Duane,You can get raw veneer from Certainlywood.com They are in NY. On the west coast you can try flamingoveneer.com.I would use epoxy to glue veneer to fiberglass. As far as adhering the veneer, you can use vacuum pressure by applying a piece of plastic over the area you want to press and drawing a vacuum through a hole in the face of the plastic. The plastic would be taped to your boat around the edges and some form of bleeder fabric for proper air evacuation would be between the veneer and the cover plastic. Your pump would run the entire time until the glue set up.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I am interested in applying a teak and holly veneer directly to the : cabin sole of a sailboat.

Daryl,Thanks for your quick response - I am not a woodworker, so these questions may sound crazy to you, but again I thank you for your time.What do you mean by a bleeder fabric? Would I need to use one of your machines? Which one do you recommend and is there somewhere that actually rents them? Purchasing on for single use might not be cost effective for me.Duane Duane,: You can get raw veneer from Certainlywood.com They are in NY.

Duane,A bleeder fabric is a material that allows the air in all areas of the vacuumed area to get out through the nipple connection. We sell a course weave plastic netting for this purpose.You dont really need one of our pumps for this application, especially since its a one time thing. Check out a salvage supply house, they often have budget vacuum pumps for cheap. To do this right you really will need a vacuum pump.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Thanks for your quick response - : I am not a woodworker, so these questions may sound crazy to you, but again I thank you for your time.: What do you mean by a bleeder fabric? : Would I need to use one of your machines?
